Custom Boomerangs
Mar 21st
Ready for a trivia question? What traditional sporting item has been around for over 30,000 years, and was part of a collection of King Tutankhamen, and are still used today? Answer? The boomerang. And using promotional boomerangs as part of your advertising campaign is the perfect solution for many businesses.
Children love these boomerangs, but most adults are also unable to resist throwing one when they have a chance. We are fascinated with how they work. Although we now use them mainly as sporting or play items, boomerangs have also been used for hunting. There is even a world championship for boomerang throwing now. They were mostly made from wood, but bone boomerangs have also been discovered frequently. Today, they are also made of plywood, plastic or composites.
Custom boomerangs have a very large area for displaying your logo or other information where it can be readily observed. You can purchase an Australian style plastic boomerang with a 3” x 0.75” imprint area for your logo or company slogan in a variety of colors. These logo boomerangs start as low as $.57 each, making them a very valuable advertising tool.
Boomerangs work well for advertising most any type of business, and can be distributed easily. They are inexpensive enough to pass out at tradeshows, conventions, seminars and other events, as well as at schools and camps. Sporting goods stores find these promotional boomerangs an invaluable advertising tool, and many sporting events love to hand them out before a match or game. Although almost any item can be used as a promotional product, something such as custom boomerangs are a little different and unique, and will stand out from the more common items such as pens, key rings and lighters. When you are trying to make your business stand out, choosing something which stands out from the crowd is always a good idea.

Custom Promotional Golf Tees
Feb 23rd
Custom printed golf tees, those handy little gadgets that no golfer ever has enough of! With over 28 million golfers, you can see where there are a lot of them in use every day. What a great opportunity to have your company logo seen around the country for just a very small cost. What other media will allow you to get your information out there for as low as $.07?
No matter what the weather may be, you will find golfers out on the course enjoying themselves. Whole families go together and make a day of it. Senior citizens enjoy a sport that keeps them active well after the football days have passed for them. Golf vacations are highly popular, especially with those who live where snow keeps them from playing. The first warm days of spring find golf courses crowded to the max-getting a tee time can be a real problem when everyone has spring fever!
Printed golf tees are an advertisers delight. Everyone wants and needs them, golfers share them, they are inexpensive, and they are so easy to distribute. They are passed out at conventions, tradeshows and seminars; golf related businesses put boxes of them on the counter for customers to help themselves; they go well in gift baskets with other golf items; and every tournament, whether a major pro one or a charity golf tournament, gives them away. Shouldn’t you be taking full advantage of these advertising opportunities?
Your logo displayed on promotional golf tees guarantees you a great deal of exposure for your branding effort. Each time a golfer goes out onto the course, you have the chance to get your company name known.
Golf tees come loose, in cellophane packets, in pouches and kits. They come in a wide variety of colors, and you can select wooden or plastic styles.
The next time a golfer heads out to play, make sure your company is represented with the pack of custom printed golf tees in his bag. He or she will appreciate your gift every time they play.

The Great Race- Pittsburgh’s Fall Fitness Classic
Sep 22nd
“If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Michael Jordan
I recently started getting involved with races last year in 2009 and have been inspired to continue this healthy trend by signing up once a year for a race. It’s important to get involved around your community and also to get some exercise.
The Great Race- Richard S. Caliguiri
The 5K we signed up for last year, was Richard S. Caliguiri for the 2009 Great Race. My boyfriend absolutely hates waking up early, so when I tried to wake him up at around 5 a.m. I received an earful.
Since we don’t exercise on a regular basis we kind of fell behind
in the race, and as we neared the end he said he wanted a running finish to pass everyone up. I noticed a lot of people had mp3 players while they were running, which is a good idea to enjoy the run. The sponsors were very kind, we received a long sleeve shirt, which we wore, chocolate energy drinks one before and one for after the race, hair ties, and a fruit cup. After the race they had food and drinks for us from many sponsors.
We then decided as much as we liked the race we would sign up for another next year.

5 Ideas For Fall Football Marketing
Sep 7th
It’s that magical time of year again! Freshly cut grass, white paint on the ground, shoulder pads crushing into one another, Friday night games, and the pound of the snare drum during half time herald in the sound of football season. Make this Fall season your time shine by using America’s greatest game to market your brand.
1) Booster Clubs
Most High School football teams have a booster club. Get on board by sponsoring a local organization that supports fun and educational programs for students. Contact their leader to investigate what the booster club needs and how you can help them offset the costs for the parents.
2) Sponsor a Little League team
Youngsters are learning how to play the game, and countless communities across America have several teams looking for sponsors. Imagine 20 kids wearing your company logo every weekend through November, that’s a great opportunity for community involvement and raising brand awareness, not to mention the parents knowing the good deed you did.
3) Tailgate!
Before the Friday night lights come on, there’s fun to be had in the parking lot. Hosting a tailgate with food, drinks, and giveaways for fans is fine opportunity to put your logo in the hands and minds of your potential customers.
4) Handouts
Everybody loves FREE stuff! Think like a fan this Fall and imagine what you might want/need for a game. You may consider warm knit caps, insulated mugs for hot chocolate, water bottles to keep cool, the ever-popular Kan-Tastic, or something else unique and useful. Provide something of value to your potential customers/clients and let them know that you care about their positive experience.
5) The Terrible Towel
Support your local teams by distributing sports towels with both the team and your logos! Nothing intimidates the other team like a furious wave of fans having fun and spinning a distracting wave of towels over their heads!
rushIMPRINT is your home for all the promotional items you could need to raise your brand awareness this Fall. We are looking forward to working with you to make this football season a memorable one!
No Time to Exercise? Stay Active with these Tips
Sep 3rd
“Without regular physical activity, the body slowly loses its strength and ability to function well” The American Heart Association. The most important thing to remember is never overdo it, keep a steady pace and listen to music to relax yourself.
Staying fit is important to me. I make working out part of my daily routine. Whether it’s early in the morning, lunch, or after work in the evening; I always try to get at least 30 minutes or more of exercise. Working out is convenient for me; I have a membership to my local gym. Also here at Rushimprint we are fortunate that we have a gym right here in our office.
It’s easy to lose motivation over time, so in order to keep yourself from becoming bored and to keep your muscles guessing, try performing a variety of exercises.
Here are some of the things I enjoy: running, spin, weight training and belly dancing. This week I plan on taking a jazzercise class with a friend, sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
Getting Started
At most of our jobs we are sitting behind a desk for several hours a day. Make becoming active one of your priorities. We all have busy lives so a great way to start is to just devote 20 to 30 minutes to yourself.
You can break it up into 2 fifteen minute workouts. Set small goals for yourself and when you reach them, reward yourself. Research shows that exercise helps improve your mood and productivity. You will also look and feel great. Try different things and see what works best for you.
Here are a few fun products that you can use right at home:
- Track your steps with the Slazenger Step Pedometer

- For Fitness on the Go Try the Travel Fitness Kit
- Stay Fit Digital Jump Rope

Employees who are healthy are more productive because they are absent less often and are able to focus and perform better at work. That’s why the American Heart Association created the national initiative called Start!. Start! calls on all Americans to create a culture of physical activity and live healthier lives by walking.
Did you know that by adding one hour of regular, vigorous physical activity, adults may gain up to two hours of life expectancy? There are more than 140 million Americans over age 20 who are overweight and obese — a serious risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Also, only 30.9 percent of U.S. adults age 18 or older engage in regular leisure-time physical activity.
Start by including more physical activity into your daily routine. Take a walk, ride a bike or take the stairs. To help you reach and maintain a healthy body weight, the American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity at least five days a week.
Promote good health in the workplace. Your employees will reap the benefits with lower out-of-pocket medical costs, a reduced risk of developing a chronic health condition and increased satisfaction with their jobs and lives. Medical, workers’ compensation and disability costs will be lower, too.

Races can be Great Opportunities for Promotional Items
Aug 24th
I first began running in 2008 when I got the news about registration opening for the 2009 Pittsburgh Marathon. The race was coming back to our city for the first time since being canceled in 2004. The marathon was always such a big event in our city. Thousands of runners would participate in the event from all over the world. I remember as a kid going to the Southside with my family to cheer on the runners as they passed by. I thought that it was amazing that those runners could go such a distance (26.2 miles). How can that be possible? I would soon find out for myself.
After running the half marathon in 2009, I decided that 2010 was going to be my year to test my endurance and register for the full marathon. I began my 18 week training program in the winter and followed it consistently.
Sometimes it was not easy going out in the cold and snow, but I was determined. I kept track of my miles in a weekly planner. By increasing my miles each week I finally ended up with 42 miles on the 16th week. It was enough to get me to the finish line. Race day came and I am proud to report that I accomplished the marathon successfully, and actually much faster than I anticipated. This was one of my greatest accomplishments. I enjoyed the race, scenery, people, entertainment along the course, and the enthusiastic crowd support. I can not wait to do it again.
Preparing for the race
Some of the necessary things I used in training that I never left home without are:
- Moisture Wick Apparel

-In the winter this is very important because you are running outside, and are at a great risk for Hypothermia.
-Moisture wick apparel keeps the moisture away from your body.
-This was definitely a necessity in the cold winter months and in warm weather as well.
-I downloaded some of my favorite music to keep me motivated.
- Staying hydrated is very important even in the winter. I would use it for Gatorade & water.
- Drawstring Backpack
- On weekends, I would go out for long runs between 12 and 17 miles.
The drawstring back pack was light weight and easy to carry snacks I would need to take along to stay fueled.
Whether you sponsor your favorite Charity that is racing, volunteer, or even run with a team, it is a great way to promote your company.
